Help to troubleshoot a pihole (with unbound)...

Hi guys!

So, it seems I'm getting again stuck with my pihole, seems it might not resolve domains I know that are new to it... So, if I try to visit the website from my browser (firefox or ungoogle chromium), it gets a DNS failure. Same with a nslookup. But if I connect to the pihole and do a: dig saigoneer.com @127.0.0.1 -p 5335 I get the full response and resolution. But even in the pihole, attempting nslookup saigoneer.com will fail. Any idea what can I try next?

Thanks!

Have you checked if you're rate limited? I was getting rate limited while downloading games from steam which took me several hours to debug.

Not sure if this is your problem but it might be a thing to check out.

Rate limited...by whom? I'm using unbound, so I'm not forwarding my DNS requests to my ISP.

By pihole. Iirc the default limit is 1000 requests per minute
